Matthew:13:1-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In but the day that departing the Jesus from the house ,
he sat by the sea ;
*
and were gathered to him crowds great ,
so that he into the ship entering to be seated ;
and all the crowds on the shore stood .
*
And he spake to them much in parables ,
saying :
Lo ,
went out the sower of the (
seed )
to sow .
*
And in the sowing it ,
some indeed fell on the path ;
and came the birds ,
and ate them .
*
Others and fell on the rocky ground where not it had earth much ;
and immediately sprung up ,
through the not to have a depth of earth ;
*
sun and having arisen ,
it was scorched ;
and through the not have a root ,
was dried up .
*
Others and fell among the thorns ;
and sprung up the thorns ,
and coked them .
*
Others and fell on the ground the good ;
and bore fruit ,
the one a hundred ,
the other sixty ,
the other thirty .
*
He having ear to hear ,
let him hear .
*
And coming the disciples said to him :
Why in parables speakest thou to them ?
*
He and answering said to the :
Because to you it is given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens ;
to them but not it is given .
*
Whoever for has ,
it shall be given to him ,
and he will be gifted with abundance ;
Whoever but not has ,
even what he has ,
shall be taken from him .
*
Therefore this in parables to them I speak ,
for seeing not they see ,
and hearing not they hear ,
neither do they understand .
*
And is fulfilled to them the prophecy of Esaias ,
that saying :
By hearing you shall hear ,
and not not may you understand ;
and seeing you will see ,
and not not you may see .
*
Has grown fat for the heart of the people this ,
and with the ears heavily they hear ,
and the eyes of them they shut ,
lest they should see with the eyes ,
and with the ears they should hear ,
and with the heart should understand ,
and they should turn ,
and I should heal them .
*
Of you but blessed the eyes for they see ;
and the ears of you for they hear .
*
Indeed for I say to you ,
that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see ,
what you see ,
and not saw ;
and to hear ,
what you hear ,
and not heard .
*
You therefore hear the parable of the sower .
*
Any one hearing the word of the kingdom ,
and not understanding ,
comes the wicked (
one ),
and snatches that having been sown in the heart of him ;
this is ,
that on the path being sown .
*
That but on the rocky ground being sown ,
this ,
who the word hearing and forthwith with joy receiving it ;
*
not he has but a root in himself ,
but transient is ;
arising and trial or persecution through the word ,
immediately he is offended .
*
That but into the thorns being sown ,
this is ,
who the word hearing ,
and the care of the age this ,
and the delusion of the riches chokes the word ;
and unfruitful becomes .
*
That but on the ground the good being sown ,
this is ,
who the word hearing ,
and understanding ;
who really bear fruit ,
and yields ,
the one a hundred ,
the other sixty ,
the other thirty .
